Prague, 1935: Viktor Kosárek, a psychiatrist newly trained by Carl Jung, arrives at the infamous Hrad Orlu Asylum for the Criminally Insane. The state-of-the-art facility is located in a medieval mountaintop castle outside of Prague, though the site is infamous for concealing dark secrets going back many generations. The asylum houses the country's six most treacherous killers--known to the staff as The Woodcutter, The Clown, The Glass Collector, The Vegetarian, The Sciomancer, and The Demon--and Viktor hopes to use a new medical technique to prove that these patients share a common archetype of evil, a phenomenon known as The Devil Aspect. As he begins to learn the stunning secrets of these patients, five men and one woman, Viktor must face the disturbing possibility that these six may share another dark truth.
Meanwhile, in Prague, fear grips the city as a phantom serial killer emerges in the dark alleys. Police investigator Lukas Smolak, desperate to locate the culprit (dubbed Leather Apron in the newspapers), realizes that the killer is imitating the most notorious serial killer from a century earlier--London's Jack the Ripper. Smolak turns to the doctors at Hrad Orlu for their expertise with the psychotic criminal mind, though he worries that Leather Apron might have some connection to the six inmates in the asylum.
Steeped in the folklore of Eastern Europe, and set in the shadow of Nazi darkness erupting just beyond the Czech border, this stylishly written, tightly coiled, richly imagined novel is propulsively entertaining, and impossible to put down.

堪称经典之作的心理悬疑惊悚小说
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
精彩纷呈、充满趣味的一本书。巧妙融合了心理学、神话故事、战争元素和各种悬念等等元素,人物塑造立体生动,因此在“皮围裙”展开杀戮时,让我忍不住不寒而栗,而在最后布罗乔娃与维克多告别时,我又为他们感到悲伤。 因为有大量的国内外悬疑小说的阅读经验,我仍是在书读到一... (展开)
记录想法(可能有剧透)
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
再看,有点《禁闭岛》的感觉。文中的普拉特纳医生,最初以维克多的视角呈现出是一个苏台德德意志人党人的形象,然而在尾声“捷克斯洛伐克1939年”章节,普拉纳特似乎又不是这个形象。所以印象或者说记忆是否真的可靠呢?如果深入去想可能会陷入虚无主义的陷阱。 查阅了一点儿历... (展开)> 更多书评 6篇

一个年轻医生进入城堡改造的精神病院,对此处集中的多重人格杀人犯们做新疗法试验,试图找到他们体内的devil aspect,同时警察在试图破解新出现的连环杀人案,双线并进。。第一个明确线索出现的时候我几乎能听见对自己智商再次绝望的心碎声。。不过最后又魔幻起来,就觉得作者也是故意走在虚构心理学和魔幻之间。。15个半小时的语音书,主题就是大家都熟悉不过的多重人格杀手,听多难免单调,所以得靠人物和文字来留... 一个年轻医生进入城堡改造的精神病院,对此处集中的多重人格杀人犯们做新疗法试验,试图找到他们体内的devil aspect,同时警察在试图破解新出现的连环杀人案,双线并进。。第一个明确线索出现的时候我几乎能听见对自己智商再次绝望的心碎声。。不过最后又魔幻起来,就觉得作者也是故意走在虚构心理学和魔幻之间。。15个半小时的语音书,主题就是大家都熟悉不过的多重人格杀手,听多难免单调,所以得靠人物和文字来留住读者,这方面还算不错,JRT的声音表现力也非常加分(很庆幸他没有为这个发生在捷克充满各种不同语言和口音的故事添加什么外国口音),让我觉得可以改编成一个质感不错的悬疑片,城堡精神病院的六魔鬼在银幕上应该可以很吸引人。。 (展开)
